Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Review

first time I've ever done that with perfume before smelling it. That's right I brought a perfume without smelling it first....risky I know, but I do like to live life on the edge! When I first smelt it I wasn't that blown away but I got SOOOOOO many compliments, particularly by the opposite sex and that can't be bad right? Now after 6 months of using it.....I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE, wouldn't be without it! I am actually REALLY pleased that I did follow the hype and get it because now I wouldn't be without it!

I was a little apprehensive about this fragrance after reading a previous review but was pleasantly surprised

Firstly, I really like the packaging of this. The light pink is not to girly when it is contrasted with the black ribbon, and the ‘grenade’ bottle referencing the name of the fragrance

The main accords of Flowerbomb are white floral, patchouli, green tea, and citrus. I did not feel it was sweet and sickly as some others have mentioned and would describe it as soft, alluring, warm, and pretty!

Lasting power is good, especially when used on pulse points

One thing that I would like to point out is that this fragrance seems to sit very differently on people. I would strongly recommend testing this on yourself before buying, not just because you love the smell on someone else (this is a good rule of thumb anyway will all fragrances!)

I will definitely keep wearing this, makes getting ready in the morning that extra bit nicer!

I think the hype surrounding this perfume works against it. It is touted as a modern classic, when to be fair, it is fairly generic.

It is possible the EDP may have more 'layers', but the EDT, to me anyway, is just another burnt sugar type of scent, with a hint of patchoulli.

It is very cloying and overly sweet.

I FINALLY got around to trying this and ohhh my gosh. I had the lady spritz a little on my arm, my bf and I kept sniffing my wrist all night.. it was disgraceful! We were like drug addicts! Yummmmm.... just watching my credit card balance drain away! heh heh

I LOVE FlowerBomb. It is a beautiful scent and I always get so many comments from people when I wear it. I think what I love most about the fragrance is how it deepens the longer it has been on you, and it stays for ages. I often put jumpers/jackets on that I realise I must have sprayed flower bomb onto ages ago. It really holds on!

If you are a fan of scents which aren't worn by the masses then this is probably one you might want to avoid however.. The fabulous thing about fragrance is that it can smell different on each body!

I was skeptical because of how popular this was.. In passing at Farmers I had always tried it on and was impressed by its staying power and power packed punch that wasn't too over powering but very easy to wear and feminine.

I ended up splurging on a bottle of this and the extreme.. I find this version is better for day time/casual wear where as the extreme is ideal for night time. Both fragrances have incredible stayability which you would expect from such a high end fragrance.

I believe this is one fragrance that near almost everyone could pull off. Although there is a hint of sweetness in there, it is in no way sickly and I believe will appeal to almost every taste in fragrance!

I brought this perfume a couple of months ago after many stops at the beauty counters. Its a timeless perfume with a lovely floral scent (of course) while not over powering. I have had many compliments when I have been wearing this perfume. I use it both during the day and night. I will definitely be buying another bottle when I run out. If you or someone else is passing through a duty free I would recommend picking this up or try it at the fragrance counter.

I am super picky when it comes to perfumes as I have a lot of allergies and sinus problems. This means that the majority of perfumes give me an instant headache.. and some even cause severe allergic reactions! This is one of the ones that I can actually tolerate - so much so, that I actually love it! It was the first expensive perfume that I bought myself (about 5 years ago!) and I still love the smell of it.

I've been waiting for ages to finally get some of this after reading so many rave reviews and I just felt really "meh" about it after using it. It's a nice enough scent, quite sweet, which I like BUT I have found it not to last all day which always annoys me, especially when you compare that to the price you pay. not enough bang for your buck IMO. I just don't love it enough to buy again

My boyfriend brought this for me as a gift for Christmas, as I had been going on and on about wanting it for so long but could never really afford it, I got a little gift pack and the box was the cutest box I have ever seen! I love the scent, it stays on for a good amount of time, the bottle is the cutest! My flatmate said he thought it smelt like condoms, so I guess each to their own.. But I love it, and I'm dreading the day I run out as it's expensive.
